Food: 5/5 Tacos were delicious! Asada, buche, lengua were all top tier. Horchata always a must order drink. Service: 4/5 Nice staff. Definitely learning some common Spanish words goes a long way. Ambiance: 4/5 Standing style type of spot. read more

Secret Tacos - Tacos Near Me - San Gabriel, California

I was so excited to hear about a new street taco opening up in the SGV. I went on Thursday and thought that it was going to be a street taco stand but there was only a taco truck in the same spot (assuming they upgraded). Unfortunately, I read the review about the cockroaches and I was already on edge. There were quite a few cockroaches crawling through the trees on the sidewalk of where the truck was parked. Food: Asada Quesadilla (5/10): Super cheesy quesadilla with decent amount of asada! Unfortunately, the asada wasn't seasoned well and lacked a smoky flavor to it. There was a lot of fat pieces in here that were inedible that I had to spit out. The green salsa they provide at their salsa bar helped with the flavor. It was a pretty big quesadilla that can be shared between two people! read more

We circled around looking for Secret Tacos Tomas expecting to find a tent set up outside, but we found green lit food truck called Tacos Los Poblanos. Nothing has changed, Tomas is still behind the grill serving up tacos. The staff are probably just adjusting to the smaller workspace so quality might not be as consistent as before. The tacos were truly loaded with meat, surprised that the single corn tortilla held everything together nicely. Carne Asada is an absolutely must order, and Al Pastor could've been a bit more charred, but it was juicy and grilled pineapple added the perfect finishing touch. The real winner was honestly the salsa bar. They were individually good, and each bringing a diffident heat level and flavor. Plenty of containers and plastic bags to load up at the condiment station, but seriously double up on all the salsas. read more

Pulled up to this taco stand and it was already packed, which is always a good sign. I actually was waiting for a table nearby, but you can't miss the giant spinning al pastor right up front. So I went straight for the al pastor first. What I liked right away is that they don't chop it down into tiny bits. You actually get slices of al pastor that are chewy, tender, and full of flavor. They top it with a good piece of pineapple too, which balances everything out. The condiments were fresh, and you can load up however you like. At around $3 a taco, I was full after four and honestly felt like it was worth it. Simple, busy, and straight to the point. Out in the street, the place opens up with a casual but flaming setup. Definitely a solid late night stop and you can't miss it if you're just driving up San Gabriel Blvd heading home. read more

I've always passed by this busy stand, so got to finally try it out on a Friday night! There was a line, but it wasn't too long of a wait. I'm just glad you don't have to go all the way to LA for street tacos. We got to try the asada and al pastor tacos. Each were $3. They add a heft amount of meat on it. The garnishes on the side were luckily pretty clean, so you can load up as much. First few bites, it's a bit too salty but still pretty delicious. Very flavorful. Solid spot for street tacos! read more

First time going here and I heard of lot of good things about it. They work really fast so even if there's a line it goes by quickly. Food: we ordered tacos, burritos, and a quesadilla with a strawberry Fresca and horchata. Food was decent nothing out of this world. The meat that was given on the tacos was a lot though! They had a variety of sauces that you can use as well as grilled onions and charred jalapeños. Seating: There's no seating provided so bring your own or bring it home. It's near a construction site/ place with a lot of dirt or dust so that was a minus. Prove: There's no menu so there's really no telling how much anything was, we got the strawberry Fresca, 3 tacos, a burrito and a quesadilla which ended up being $43, which personally is a bit expensive. Overall: nothing really stood out to me. It just has all the typical things that other taco places have, the lack of seating, area of choice, lack of a menu with clear prices really deter me from coming again. If you really enjoy this place I would recommend togo and just eat at home and ask for the price of everything you want to make sure it matches. read more

Still coming here a couple times a month and the tacos are still solid. Lately I've been pulling up on Tuesdays because they do a deal, 2 tortas for $12 with any meat. I usually go with one tripas and one asada. They're a decent size and definitely fill you up. Most of the time I'll eat one for dinner and save the other for lunch the next day, so it's actually a pretty good deal. One tip, bring cash. They charge extra fees if you use a card. Also, the line gets pretty long now... guess the secret is definitely out. Still a good spot for street style tacos! read more

They charge 13% extra for using a credit card! Also the receipt they give you doesn't specify the additional amount they charge? It only shows up on their little screen when you pay. Unclear! And also why is it so much more to use a credit card!? read more

Came here on a Sunday around 9pm. Line was about 8-10 people deep. They accept cash and card (pretty sure they charge a fee on top) They have one person on Al Pastor, another on quesadillas and another on tacos for other meats. When we got there only Al Pastor, Suadero, and Tripas were available. I really wanted to try the Cabeza and Asada but I'll have to do that next time. My wife said the Al Pastor was good, the tripas and suadero were decent as well. The meat to tortilla ratio is perfect and the tortilla held its shape. I think I'd come back to try again for the other meats. As far as pricing goes, it was $3/taco and I was charged $23.99 total for 7 tacos. Not sure if the $2.99 up charge was because I used credit card or tax but it seemed more than just typical sales tax. read more

Tried this taco stand on a Saturday night while visiting the 626. The line was long! It look about an hour by the time I got my food. Just keep that in mind. Everyone parks up the street near the stand. There are no lights, table, or chairs, so this is definitely an "eat-in-your-car" type spot. True street food. While the wait was long, the tacos were very good and I would say worth the wait if you have the time. I really liked how they do handmade tortillas here. You can see the tortilla maker in the back pressing the dough. Incredibly fresh. The meat was good -- I got the al pastor and lengua. The al pastor was bomb, but the lengua was a bit plain and needed some seasoning. I wish they had a menu or list of all the meats they provide but I am assuming they have all of your main fixings here. Tacos were $2.50 and drinks were $6. Great spot for authentic tacos. Just be prepared to wait and eat in the dark. read more

Secret Tacos - The cutter! - Tacos Near Me - San Gabriel, California

This is a great street vendor spot in the SGV for tacos, burritos, tortas, quesadillas, and even baked potatoes! What makes this place a little different asides from its own popularity, is that this taco stand partners with a churro stand ( Alex's Churros) right next to it selling excellent fried-to-order churros, fried oreos, plantains and more! As you drive up, there usually is a line of folks waiiting to place their orders, but the line moves fairly quickly, so think fast and be ready! Parking is available on the side street just down from the corner. Like most legit Al Pastor places, the pork is cooked on the Trompo ( a big rotating column of pork that is cooked on a LARGE flame, and cut and served to order. The Al Pastor was quite moist and flavorful, as was the Asada Taco we had. Big self-serve condiment bar to load up on the salsa of your choice plus limes, onion, radish, etc.. No seating here, so just stand around and eat and enjoy the vibe! I look forward to coming back here anytime! read more

Was craving tacos, found this gem and already can't wait to be back! I ordered the Al pastor and suadero tacos + a large horchata. 4 tacos and a drink for $16! Fresh tortillas are being made in the back, al pastor on the fire and the other delicious meats are being grilled on the black top. They offer grilled spicy jalapeños and onions and a full condiments/salsa bar which are all self-serve and suitable for to-go as well. The guys working the grill were very communicative and nice. The ladies working the register were also nice and offered to wrap/cover my plate of tacos for my to-go order. You'll find them on a small corner with string lights around their tent. No seating so take it home, to the park, or eat in the car! read more

Secret Tacos - 4 tacos: 2 al pastor, 2 suadero - Tacos Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Everytime I drive by here, I see a long line. This secret taco spot isn't as much of a secret spot anymore. We finally came by to try it out and the line moved fairly quick. For our family of four, we ordered 2 Lengua Tacos, 2 Al Pastor Tacos ($2.50 each), Carne Asada Burrito ($12), and Al Pastor Baked Potato ($15). There a mini plastic bags to fill up on all the toppings like onions, cilantro, pickled vegetables, cucumbers, radishes, and 4 types of hot sauces. Fair warning, their sauces are pretty spicy! This was more than enough food for us and came with plenty of meat. I didn't care for the burrito as much though, but everything else was superb. read more

Ask the price before ordering--we didn't and were charged $39 for 4 tacos, one burrito, and one quesadilla. Prices weren't posted and there was no menu, so it felt unclear. One of the condiments was very spicy, but it wasn't labeled so we couldn't tell which one. Overall, it's okay to try. It's nearby, portions are generous, and the man serving was friendly. Service was a bit inconsistent otherwise. read more

As of mar 2026 tacos are $3 and burrito with cheese is $14. The burrito was amazing. The line is so long now. I like the al pastor meat the most. I tried the chicken but it was super dry. They also only had lemon instead of lime. Not a fan of lemon with tacos. read more

We were hungry late at night, and happened to drive by and saw a long line. We decided to stop by. There were plenty of street parking. The line moved pretty fast. We got an El Pastor taco and cabeza muleta. The el pastor was very flavorful and well seasoned. The cabeza muleta is the best I had in Los Angeles so far! It is well seasoned and tender. This is the reason they have a long line! Too bad that I forgot to take pictures before I ate because we were too hungry. There is no table or chair set up, and everyone was eating standing up. However, this does not stop the line from growing. This place is amazing, and I will come by again! read more

I found this place on yelp because I was craving tacos so I went to try. There was a line already when I went so my bf and I were thinking it must be good. We ordered the Al Pastor & Suadero Tacos and one Carne Asada quesadilla to share. We got the tacos and quesadilla in corn tortilla which was the move to go. The al pastor was flavorful and the suadero was not as fatty as how I would like it but still good. Our favorite was the carne asada quesadilla, the meat was juicy and cheesy. I also order the pineapple aqua fresca which was refreshing. I forgot the pricing but the tacos were $2.50 each which is the standard price now in days. There are no tables and chairs to sit but we went back to our car and ate the food. I will def be coming back here! read more

I'm not boujee, but food trucks and things that doesn't have a permanent building is not my typical go to. I've not had the luck of eating anything memorable from these types of food services, aside from it being unbelievably oily and disappointing. Luckily I have a friend who loves these kind of non-building food joints. So when I said he can pick dinner, this is what he chose. I was rather surprised when he started driving towards the location. I lived in this area for over 10 years now and didn't recall ever seeing anything but an empty lot. So this taco stand definitely lives up to the name "Secret." Honestly, I'm not sure what kind of taco I got. It was beef. It was delicious. Please refer to picture, haha. My friend got the burrito and that was massive! So if you're hungry, get that. He couldn't even finish. Their setup is legit. They have this vertical hunk of meat that they shave meat off of. (I absolutely have no idea what that is called but you know what I mean, haha!) A separate grill. And entire table of drinks and condiments. And all of this is housed under a tent. (Not the ones you use for camping of course.) They even accept cards as a form of payment! The only con I can say about this place is there is no stools or anywhere you can sit. So if you want to enjoy the food right then and there, you'll just have to pop a squat like we did. Or stand and eat like a normal person. Like so many other reviews says, the secret is out! Sometimes you don't need a roof for good tacos - just good meat and word of mouth! read more

Came here craving for the taco-stand tacos and it did not disappoint! While they offer a slew of meats including cabeza and birria, their al pastor is the standout option here and a must-try for first-time visitors. It is seared and cut fresh off the spit AND - little did I know it is a thing - it comes with pineapple slices. How come I've never gotten that before?! I love the savory and sweet combination with their soft tortilla to pull it all together. So, I basically wrote this review for their al pastor. It is that tasty! read more

This taco stand is absolutely worth the hype. Freshly made tortillas makes a huge difference. There's a solid variety of meats to choose from, but the al pastor really stole the show for me. It was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and easily my favorite. Be prepared to wait because it does get busy, but honestly, it's 100% worth it. read more

Not so secret secret taco. One of the best tacos in the SGV. The flavors are there, the amount of meat you get for the price is spot on. Definitely recommend the Al pastor tacos. It's so flavorful and tender. The Lengua has great flavor also, great texture and chew to it. The homemade salsa is great, but not really needed with how flavorful the meats are seasoned. Also highly reccomend the strawberry milk - it tastes like melted strawberry ice cream. It's delicious as well as their horchatas. Come early, line does get long, and they don't have a menu so come prepared in what to order. read more

Came here on a Sunday night. I always drive by and see how crowded it is so I curiously wanted to try it. We arrived around 6 pm and there was already a line. I expected that so we waited a bit and we finally ordered. It was quite chaotic in there and the guy messed up my order. We asked him that one taco was missing and he nodded but he never got it for us! So we stood there awkwardly and waited but yea just gave up and left. When we ate the Al pastor it was really dry. It looked good on the skewer so I was disappointed with that too. Overall, not the best taco stand around but I do appreciate the handmade tortillas. read more

Lines are long but it's worth the wait. Al pastor and lengua are both 5 stars. Well seasoned and good flavor. There's no tables around so eat in the car or get it to go. The orange sauce is very spicy so consider yourself warned. read more

Came here with my husband and a friend. For 2.50 a taco, great deal. Meats: MUST get the al pastor. I would get 2 each of those per person, minimum. My husband enjoyed the lengua flavor. Lengua texture was ok. Asada and Cabeza were nice and smoky. Buche is a pass. Just alright, had better. Sauces/sides: Amongst the regular onion/cilantro/raddish, they have pickled cucumber here. Their sauces are on the spicier side. I just stick to the green sauces. Bring your own wet wipes. It gets messy and there's nowhere to eat so you gotta head back to your car. Great spot though. I'll be back! read more

The price of each tacos came out to be $2.50 each. From their handmade tortillas to the well seasoned meats. Definitely one of the best one in SG area. The meats were juicy and the tortillas wasn't dry. Great service and each staffs work very fast. Made sense why they have long line. Their toppings/sides/sauces are always full stocked and a good selection too. The fact that it's outside near an open street, they practice good hygiene. Keep customers safe while consuming their food! Just wish they open later because these as a late late night munchies will definitely hits hard. Besides tacos, they do offer other items on their menu. Like tortas, quesadillas, burritos, potatoes, and etc. read more

While my husband was ordering, a LARGE flying cockroach literally flew onto his neck and then dropped to the floor. We both heard it flying first, and he looked extremely uncomfortable and disturbed. I kept saying there were roaches, but the woman taking our order didn't acknowledge it at all. After ordering, we looked around more carefully and noticed several adult roaches around the truck. We even heard another girl on the other side scream because a roach flew at her too. On top of that, the food quality wasn't worth the price. We ordered 3 burritos and 4 tacos, and the total came out to almost $50. When we got home, 2 out of the 3 burritos were wrapped so poorly that they completely unraveled while eating. One of the people I ordered for got so frustrated they stopped eating altogether. Sadly, between the hygiene concerns, lack of response from staff, declining food quality, and high prices, I would never return. read more

Came here with some friends on a random weekday night, and the place was pretty lively. The person handling the al pastor was trick shotting the pineapple onto the tortilla, which is how I knew the food was going to be good. The al pastor was super juicy, and the pineapple added a nice sweetness that balanced everything out perfectly. I also tried the lengua (beef tongue) taco and the suadero (brisket) taco, and both were delicious. read more

I've been coming over here for a year now and haven't written a review. I've tried their pastor, carne asada and chicken before. Al pastor comes with a little piece of pineapple and all their tacos are served on fresh handmade tortillas. They don't skimp on the meat either. This might be false advertising but I think their spicy onions cured my cold that I had a for a week. Why eat spicy food with a sore throat? IDK but I'm glad I did. Everyone eats at their car parked around the corner. There's absolutely no street light so byo lights. The workers are always so friendly even when the line is down the block. They take cash & card. read more

Wow! I'm obsessed! This may be new to me but they've clearly built a following - and I can see why! It's just $2.50 (inflation I suppose) but still within reason and the real magic is in the handmade tortillas. There's a woman in the back pressing each one fresh, which is a rare and beautiful touch these days. Highly recommend al pastor which comes with a tiny slice of pineapple, and suadero! They accept cash and credit. There's a fully stocked condiment station where you can load up on cilantro, onions, radishes, cucumbers and sauces. Be careful with the spicy red sauces - it's explosive hot! This spot reminds me of the iconic Ave 26 but even better because it's right here in the neighborhood. read more

Just one of the best street tacos. It is a vendor stand with no seating. It is greasy and flavorful so eat it outside but not in your car. No menu but there's burritos, tortas, baked potatoes, quesadillas, mulitas, and tacos. Tried it all and you cannot go wrong. The al pastor is my favorite. The carne asada is perfectly smoky. No cheap meat quality here. They are even hand pressing their own tortillas out there. Grab your toppings and salsa on your own. Don't skip the grilled onions and jalapeño in front of the cashier. I also can't resist their spicy, pickled red onions. Probably San Gabriel's best kept not-so-secret! read more
